Recommendations of The Fifth Central Pay Commission



Recommendations of The Fifth Central Pay Commission

Part VII Section II – Pay Scales Armed Forces

Para 145.6 – The Fourth CPC took note of the conditions of service determining the compensation package and due consideration was given to the truncated career, rigid discipline, code, frequent moves etc…… As regards officers, the Fourth CPC felt that the pay structure should be such that it made the armed forces attractive as a career and provided a reasonable pay progression to the officers of the services.

Para 147 – Pay Structure for Officers

147.28 – Comparison with Civilians – In order to properly appreciate the demands relating to pay structure, we thought it worthwhile to go into the principles adopted by earlier Pay Commissions with regard to formulation of pay scales of service officers. At the of the Post-Way Pay Committee, Service pays generally equalled civilian class-I pays and a specific equation was established with officers of the Indian Police Service. The Raghuramaiah Committee which was appointed after the Second Pay Commission continued the accepted parallel between Defence Service officers and class I service of the Central Government, particularly the IPS. While stating that the IPS was perhaps the closest civilian analogue to officers of the infantry, the Thrid CPC, considering the demand of the Armed Forces to be equated to the IAS, noted the multifunctional character of the officer cadre and diversity of functions of various occupational groups and felt that to equate them with a single service would be a defective approach. In their opinion, a comparison with the conglomerate of class-I Civil Services was more reasonable. The Fourth CPC, accepting the organisational structure and requirements of services are different, provided compensation in the nature of pay scales itself.

Lieutenant                   8250- 300 – 10050

Colonel                        15100 – 450 – 17350

148.1 Background. We have made recommendations with regard to fixation of pay in the proposed scales in respect of civilian employees in the relevant chapter The method of pay fixation on revision of pay adopted by earlier Pay Commissions for civilians and service personnel was more or less identical. The Fourth CPC while following a similar dispensation for civilian and Service Personnel had given specific illustrations of the manner in which pay for service personnel should be fixed especially in the context of the introduction of integrated pay scales for Service Officers, (emphasis by author of this post)

148.2. Our recommendations. We have deliberated over the manner in which service pays should be fixed and in order to ensure equality of treatment suggest that the method of fixation of pay on revision recommended for civilian employees may also be adopted for service personnel. For Service Officers upto the rank of Brigadier who are to be brought on to regular scales of pay from the existing integrated scale, we suggest that for fixation of pay the existing rank pay maybe be taken into account but pay in revised scales be fixed after deducting the revised amount of rank pay.
